wwkduffy: I feel you regarding George Segal as the main character. He does a good job, and I like him as an actor (especially BRIDGE AT REMAGEN), but I think you hit it right on the nosecone. In regards to being a computer guy who is paranoid of technology, that makes perfect sense. It's like a soldier who works his way up the Military Industrial Complex Ladder, only to want nothing to do with the Military because he knows what goes on behind the scenes. I will say "read the novel". There is a scene in an airport hanger that was pretty terrifying to read!
Biggest problem with this flick: George Segal seems like much too nice of a guy to transform into a psychotic murderer. That and the fact the he's a computer guru who is paranoid of them controlling everything. Never made a whole lot of sense to me.
